    I do enjoy these type of articles and the thought processes involved. IMHO...theres a better chance that Wallner sticks as on OF over Larnach...I would be shocked if Ober isn't in the rotation. What they do with Festa will be interesting.
  2. HerbieFan
    We are thinking alike. Wallner is what he is....tons of power, low average, no speed, canon arm. Jeffers....he is one. I think they tried to turn him into more of a three-true-outcomes power hitter and that just isn't him. For a catcher, I'll take this offensive profile.
  3. HerbieFan
    I can't get enough of Keaschall. The energy he plays with is infectious. Now, do we really have to see "Mickey Gasper" catch?! An incredibly loud and damning statement on Falvey that that's even possible.
  4. HerbieFan
    Help me out all. Name a hitter that has developed into a good, consistent mlb hitter during the Falvey regime. Brooks Lee joins the list of hitters who just aren't that good. Falvey is supposed to be some kind of pitching guru, but that's been pretty meh as well.
  5. HerbieFan
    Can someone explain to me why we are seeing something called "Urena" start games instead of Taj Bradley?
  6. HerbieFan
    Noah Davis?? Really?? I know we're only pretending to want to win, but c'mon Falvey. People pay good money to watch a major league game....at the very least give them major leaguers.
  7. HerbieFan
    Another Falvey Favorite. Anything that means we won't EVER have to watch "Noah Davis" pitch in a Twins uniform.
  8. HerbieFan
    In other words, C4 wanted to win......

    Always appreciate the work Nick. I've been a diehard Twins fan nearly 50 years. I am NOT a fire the GM, or fire the manager guy. However, I cannot wait until this team gets sold and Falvey and Rocco are shown the door. Ownership and the front office continue to be completely tone deaf to their fans and, I believe, the players. The players are no more than commodities...the trade of Varland proves that the most. I honestly had no problem with the trade of 7 of the players. The Correa deal I think was a last-minute salary dump. On the three stud relievers, I don't feel like there was adequate planning on Falvey's part....just look at what they got back. Terrible. His statement of "needing to be blown away" was complete BS and "front office talk". I think Thad Levine had the right idea.....

    Once again, Nick is reading my mind. So, the guy who "really liked" his roster entering 2025 sees his team once again underachieve (and do we remember the 2024 collapse?) and yet re-ups his computer printout reading manager?? At least one of the two is not good at his job....
  11. HerbieFan
    Ok. WTF. I get Castro, Bader, Stewart, even Correa. I sort of get one of Duran or Jax...even though I don't like it. But what the (bleep) is going on? Pohlads cannot sell this team fast enough.
  12. HerbieFan
    100% agree Nick. I'd like to see them sell off the expiring contracts. The list of pitchers they have under contract for next season is a very good group. My frustration is this. No matter what happens with the pitching staff, any success is going to depend on the development of hitters. And I'm not sure I can name one, save for Buxton, who has developed in this organization, under this regime, and become just a really good, consistent hitter.
  13. HerbieFan
    These three simply typify the organization's inability to develop positional players/hitters. Wallner, Lewis, Lee.......the list goes on and on
  14. HerbieFan
    Of the two, I'd probably trade Duran. His numbers are better but if one pays close attention, it's Jax that usually gets the heart of a team's order late in games so his numbers aren't going to look as good. As a "closer" his value may be higher as well. I want the best, most major league ready catching prospect in baseball plus more for him though.
  15. HerbieFan
    Sometimes I feel like Rocco knows he should deviate from his computer printout at least some of the time....use his "gut". I just don't think his "gut" is very good. Decisions like this seem random with no real rhyme or reason. I was more frustrated that you manage to lose 2 of 3 to the freaking Rockies and Jax pitches one inning.....with a 5-run lead, Duran pitches one inning....with a 6-run lead, and Varland doesn't pitch at all?!
  16. HerbieFan
    Lots of talk that the Twins will deal guys who will be FA after the season. Am I the only one who thinks they might be net positive to deal one of the lefty OFs (Wallner or Larnach) and try to keep Bader? He is miles better defensively than either one. Last I checked preventing runs also helps win baseball games.
  17. HerbieFan
    When will we all understand? Attendance is WAY down and still no one listens to the fans. It's simple...they don't care what we think.
  18. HerbieFan
    Gillespie. Urena. Urena, Gillespie. I'll go take a shower now.
  19. HerbieFan
    Keeping them relevant? That is a short list. Buxton. Ryan. Duran...........
  20. HerbieFan
    It's nice they have depth....could be worse than having to use Festa and SWR. At least they have experience now. But losing Pablo....oof
  21. HerbieFan
    You're competing for a playoff spot....not sure why you'd trade someone pitching as well as he is. I say ride it out.
  22. HerbieFan
    100% agree
  23. HerbieFan
    Cheap Pohlads.....lol
  24. HerbieFan
    Raya's WHIP at St.Paul is 2.186, so......
  25. HerbieFan
    Sands kind of makes it a Big Four. Stewart. Topa. I think it's time Rocco starts trusting those guys late as well. Alcala? Hard pass......
